WHY ME?
I’ve worked with everyone from Brooklyn hipsters running a music magazine out of their apartment to some of the world's biggest brands. I wear a lot of hats and can manage a project from brief to awards show. I can be a one-man band (if need be), but also have experience collaborating with people from a wide range of disciplines.

TESTIMONIAL
I can say in all confidence, Josh will be one of the best assets for any company he works with. His versatility, both in actual copywriting and in his capacity for developing unique, powerful, and very useful business strategies, is incredible.
Within the first two weeks he was working for me, he increased our back-end conversion rate by over 200%... and that was before he had an intimate knowledge of our offer!
He is an excellent direct marketing copywriter for the Internet (sales letters, email blasts, etc.), creating sales letters that have converted as high as 15%.
And in the case that he has no experience in a specific skill, he can pick it up in no time at all. Believe it or not, I really don't have anything bad to say about him. Deciding to work with Josh is a no-brainer.
